Wouldn’t this just be the equivalent of older generations buying model train sets or whatever. “kidults” sounds kinda insulting lol. I personally don’t get the hype of lego/pokemon but it seems like a cool hobby for many.

Better than 6 cans of Stella and a 10 pack of Lambert and Butler.

I personally buy the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series sets (large, detailed models of starships). I grew up watching Star Wars and building Lego was something I always enjoyed doing as a kid. As an adult, I still enjoy both, but I now have the money to be able to afford it as a hobby.

No chance of ever owning a home , so you may as well have some nice toys in your bedroom at your parents house

Kidult = person with hobbies.
No one is demeaning to the person who buys every single football shirt for their team and can reel off the past year or two of results.
Or every journalist who has to try every brand of cocaine and AI LLM to write their articles for them.

I’ve been collecting both for years. Had loads of Lego sets on display until the kids came along.
Pokémon at the moment is more the TCG side of things and ALOT of people see it as a cash grab at the moment. Scalping and buying whole stock to sell well above retail. Which sucks because me and my son actually play the game and can hardly find any packs in shops.
